Howard Cosell Interview with Robert Lipsyte - 1991

"Howard Cosell: His Life and Times" aired on August 29, 1991 on ESPN's "Outside the Lines" series. This episode on Cosell was hosted by Robert Lipsyte, a New York Times sports columnist. The title is sometimes incorrectly cited as 'The Life and Times of Howard Cosell."

Lipsyte examines Howard Cosell's impact on sports television in a way that hasn't been done previously, and in a way that clarifies Cosell's primary target, i.e. the listener. It was with the listeners that Cosell managed to transform sports. He coupled an attorney's gift for debate with a cutting-edge voice that made listeners believe there was nothing more important than the sporting event they were watching.

Former ABC News chairman Roone Arledge said of Howard Cosell "He's the garlic that makes the stew work."

Includes a brief boxing clip of "Down goes Frasier...down goes Frasier...down goes Frasier."
Note on the fair video quality. This was transferred from an old VHS copy.
